That thing, you know, the “debate”….

WashingtonPost.com says 24 million people watched at least part of the Republican “debate” on
Thursday night on Fox News. That’s 24,000,000 adults, about 10 percent of the
grown-up population of the United States.

So, how do we assess
the performance of the 10 wannabe nominees?

My guess is that
about 14 people thought the whole debate was a worthwhile exercise in real-life
politics that helped inform some of the electorate in useful ways about the
substantial issues in public policy that must be addressed by our elected
leaders.
